“Yes, you read that right: I’m a liger. Half lion, half tiger. Two times the panther! That’s why illusions are my specialty.”

Hello, this is Diadema. As today is the Moonrise Festival, the Sleepy Minstrel has granted my request to compose this post.

My gifting records tell me that of all six elements, Void is the least harnessed. Rarer are those who can handle this element at an advanced level. With the rise of the Four Magistrates, this element has gained newfound appreciation in recent years through a Kromatistan illusionist, Rayan “Ryan” Lee.

Rayan was born in the Golden Circus, an entertainment and diplomatic institute based in Kromatista’s largest city, Emasia. Back then, the city was led by a twisted individual who saw the circus’ Beastfolk performers not as fellow living beings, but as products. In the name of “redefining entertainment,” he forced many of them to mate with one another and produce hybrids. All of these poor children were born very sickly, and most of them died within months.

This development is unsurprising. Those humans had the audacity to banish a Titan, after all. They were lucky to be dealing with the statistically “nicest” one.

Anyways, Rayan got pretty lucky. The performers thought about euthanizing him at first, but one bold tiger interfered and volunteered to raise him as his brother — an acrobat named Razak Malik. He took care of Rayan in the circus until he turned twelve, when the young liger realized his magic, and Razak was appointed the new Ringmaster. Knowing he could no longer be constantly available, the new Ringmaster sent his brother to another city, where a close friend would fund his magic studies. The talented little liger would graduate from his school within three years, setting records as both its youngest and fastest graduate.

Upon graduation, he immediately returned to Emasia and became a professional magician — and a hugely successful one at that. He’s had a pretty good and easy life in Kromatista… until one night, he had a strange dream: a gentleman in black said some very fancy words, a boy in shiny golden armor kept staring at him with immense awe, and an incredibly warm lady gave him a new name, Lee Sin Swee (李星瑞).

Whatever it was, Rayan was sold on their idea. And with that, his personal prophecy is fulfilled: for the first time in history, Kromatista would produce a warrior mage.

His Magistrate Armaments are Harvest (蓐收) the Crescent Scythe and Gembeam (監兵) the Star Wand.
